status quo: As there's been no cache to find for some time, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

A short multi themed around an interesting set of sculptures in Ilam.

You need to visit three waypoints to find information that will lead you to the cache.

At the first waypoint (the cache coords) you are looking for a table with some digits and numbers. Look at only the numbers. AB is the second number in the 3rd row and CD is the third number in the 5th row..

At the second waypoint you are looking for another two numbers. EF is followed by 1/2 and GH appears 3 times, followed by different characters. GH is NOT the obvious value. The original matching item is no longer there.

At the third waypoint, you are looking for two 3-digit numbers IJK-LMN.

The final is within 500m of the start, which makes it a pleasant return walk.

The final is at S43 31 + Y, E172 35 + X where
Y = ( IJK - 2 * EF )/1000
X = ( LMN + CD - GH * AB )/1000
(Remember BODMAS, and preserve sign)
